We figured it out so you don't have to

In 2010, we set out to improve every aspect of the retained search business.

Now more than ever before, Clockwork is realizing its goal to improve how retained search firms and their clients work together. We believe you don’t need a big firm to do great work. With the right process and methodology, any firm can get what they deserve: the work and the clients they want, the business they’ve always dreamed of, and ultimately, the luxury of choice.

Our founder was a recruiter himself for many years and learned through experience that there is a better way of doing executive search. It was noticeably more effective and efficient, and dramatically more transparent and collaborative with the client. He also experienced firsthand all the limitations of the tools in the market. Because he couldn’t find the solution he sought and was so passionate about improving search execution for the industry, he set out to create his own complete business solution that had “good search” and “best business practices” baked into the platform. His #1 goal was to improve how they work with their clients, do better search work, and have happier clients as a result.

Happy clients = repeat business = flourishing search firm.

Today, Clockwork has hundreds of retained search firms as customers. Using our product-supported methodology, our customers have closed over 30,000 projects in half the time of the industry average. The Clockwork Consulting Group offers world-class analysis and advice to help retained search firms become outperformers. The Clockwork Partners is a marketplace of services for retained search execution. And companies needing retained search can find outpermforming firms on the Clockwork Network.

Combined, Clockwork's offerings make up a complete business solution for retained search firms. As a company, we're transforming the retained search industry.
